Most importantly if you want to raid seriously level up your professions (Tailoring+Engineering/JC/Enchanting), be enchanted and gemmed, try to be hit capped if possible (you can easily reach it with these items above), bring flasks and potions with yourself! With a starter gear like this above you should have no problem starting raiding!
